Form of addressing as a kind of communicative acts, is an important linguistic category in verbal communication process. It is an essential part as well for Chinese as a foreign language teaching. In fact, Vietnam learners show common linguistic phenomenon of misusing kinship terms to address non-kinship ties. Moreover, the limited understandings to the generality of addressing forms in Chinese society bring about the biases in learning the addressing form of Chinese language. Therefore, this paper will mainly analyze the occurrence of errors in language acquisition of Vietnam learners in Chinese learning process.At first, this study conducted a comparative analysis on the characteristics of addressing forms between Vietnamese language and Chinese language. Thus, the differences of addressing forms in between two languages were found out.

On the other hand, the research was carried out from the perspective of the occurrence of errors in language acquisition of Vietnam learners in learning Chinese addressing forms. On this basis, the bias phenomenon of the Vietnam learners in learning Chinese language addressing forms was summarized to occur due to 2 main reasons:1.
